Last time I saw the AWS mobile guy who services our 'van he told me he had just done a service on a 2008 van and when he got to the carbon monoxide check he had to get out of the 'van fast! He has a machine that gives a paper print out of the levels and it was way over the top. The fridge installation was the culprit. The burner should have been room sealed from the 'van but wasn't.

As he said, having that service done had potentially saved someone's life! Can't put a price on that!

Our Pre purchase check cost 60 quid and lasted two hours - I think it's well worth doing - if it highlights areas that need work you can always use that to negotiate the price?
